We publish hundreds of articles a day and aim to turn material around in as timely a fashion as possible. In general we try to review each submission within 1 business day.

Here are few guidelines to be aware of when submitting content to us:

Articles must be written in English Only. Articles that have been written via scripts or compiled using translation software so that the language usage is incorrect will immediately be denied.

Original work: We do not require exclusivity. Therefore, you’re free to republish submitted pieces elsewhere at the same time your submission is being considered for our site. Only submit content that is your original work and owned by you. We will not accept plagiarized content, and reserve the right to suspend authors whose material has proven to be plagiarized.

Be concise: We encourage you to be succinct with your writing. However, to qualify for publication, an article must have a minimum of 250 words and should be no longer than 3,000-3,500 words.

Dig deep: We favor articles that provide in-depth, unique analysis. If you are submitting technical analysis, for example, you will enhance your material—as well as the technical case—if you include informative charts in the article.

Enrich the content: Try to make your content more appealing to readers by adding audio or visual components. You can embed a PDF, or upload a video, audio segment, or YouTube video to accompany your piece.

Edit it: Spend a few minutes re-reading your article to correct spelling and grammatical errors. We will not publish articles that require extensive editing.

Stay away from penny stocks: As a rule, we do not publish articles about thinly traded penny stocks with market caps below $150 million.

Avoid promotional content: We do not support content that’s blatantly promotional and will delete any links, sentences or paragraphs that are purely promotional. This includes links to subscription pages or promotions on an author’s site. We do support links to material on your pages that add value for the reader. However, we will limit self-referential links to no more than 3 per article.

We only approve content that deals with topics relevant to the financial markets. Relevant topics include:

Your local stock markets: We value localized viewpoints. If you’re living in Germany for instance, we’d appreciate articles on the German indices and individual or multiple regional stocks.

The global markets: We always want global viewpoints on indices and stocks as well as macro financial observations. We’re interested in articles pertaining to the markets in the United States, Europe, Asia, South America, Africa and the Middle East.
